Isaiah heard the harbinger shout, but paid it little heed until wind kicked up on the platform to a shockingly forceful degree. Immediately his palms came down on the surface of the tile, but skin alone lacked the traction to keep him in place. Isaiah slid far past the pillar, down the length of the platform, and only slowed marginally when he reached the bubbled surface of the warning texture prefacing the edge. The knobs worked well enough for holding himself in place, and by that time the cause of the sudden winds moved beyond him. When the winds died down to a strong gust, Isaiah stood shaken and fought his way back to a safer area of the platform.
Windblown and jittery with adrenaline, Isaiah dwelt in a foul mood when Havasu engaged him. He glared at the cowboy with little room left for acting amiable; while the man might've carried legitimate concern, Isaiah only perceived idiocy. "Have you never learned that smoking lowers stress levels? Or did you think that I should teleport through the turnstiles and go smoke outside? If I had the ability to get out of here, I'd be long gone by now. As it is, no one's getting through that wall of bodies." The windswept businessman pointed toward the panicked civilians climbing over themselves to escape.
"And I'm not going to try toddling my way through the train tracks, if that's your next suggestion." He reached for the vape held before, and found it long missing from his pocket. "<********>," he hissed under breath.
How stupid was I for trying to circumvent parking. This might as well be the death of me - walking down the third rail is starting to sound like a good idea for a change. Better than the hockey match they're playing over there with some damnable little stone.

Inside the office, Aurostibite had managed to press a few keys, before all hell had broken loose. He'd had a split second to see something strange and vaguely glitchy appear in his peripheral vision before there was a yowl and a screech and suddenly a knight, right beside him, on the floor.
"What the hell - "
Aurostibite had been intending to reach down and grab her, but too little too late - there was a tinkling, musical sound and something brushed over his shoulder, wet like raindrops, and a soft, sluggish sensation of tiredness swept across his body. It didn't overtake him entirely, but he staggered where he stood, swearing, one of his feathered silver daggers appearing in his gloved hand.
Not that he could do much with it now, anyway, thoughts wobbling from one thing to the next in a sort of haze. His eyes flickered towards Jet and Aquamarine, and Umber, the latter of which who was looking more drugged, and who seemed to have taken most of the brunt of the attack.
Aurostibite turned towards the computer, and while using his dagger seemed ill advised - metal and electricity did not do well together - he did have one other weapon. He took a step back, swung a leg up, and smashed a booted foot into the side of the computer, intending to send it crashing onto the ground.
Delphi received a nod of understanding as she decided to stay behind, Polaris offering one last quick thing before running off. "If you need me call me. I'll come right back."
Shuffling through the messy and wet platform on high heels while dragging a soaked dress and heavy wings and braids was less than easy or comfortable. But with most of the civilians struggling to try and get out she at least was able to weave through the pathway a little easier then she might have been able to before.
When she arrived near the office the sheer amount of people and things going on was overwhelming. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a starseed in the hands of a monsterous woman, though who it belonged to she did not know. No the first thing she noticed was Maia, and another woman lunging at Maia with a glint of metal adorning her fists.
Polaris didn't bother to think before she shouted out, an arm raising upwards. "Super magnetic field!"
Quote:
Super magnetic field - Polaris chooses something metallic to polarize and a target for it to be attracted to. More controllable than her basic attack.
Soooo Xenotime's knuckle dusters are being 'magnetically' attracted to the office ceiling. Definately strong enough to pull her fist up so she misses Maia. Up to you if it's strong enough to pull Xenotime off the ground for a second. If the later, the magnetism stops as soon as the item hits it's target so it'd wear off as soon as it hits the ceiling.

Mistral is making one more try for the console! Her aspect of Mercury protection ends at the end of this turn!
Maia's magic was possibly more help than Maia herself would have been - another body in the office would have just given Mistral even less space to maneuver, and for now, everyone's reaction times seemed rather slowed. She pushed herself to the feet. Her back still stung - Mistral gritted her teeth, then looked towards the console - the captain was trying to stab the s**t out of it, and it was probably going to go offline soon. She needed to be fast.
She hit a couple of keys and flipped a few switches - why couldn't everything come as intuitively to her as Mercurean technology did?
Mistral frowned, but she didn't have time to worry about what she'd done now. She could feel a strange crackling at the back of her mind. s**t. She'd almost exhausted her aspect, hadn't she? Damn it. She was probably going to need that later.
It was time to get out of the office. Mistral turned away from the console, tucked her elbows in and crossed her arms over her stomach, and put her head down. It was going to be a mad rush or it was going to be nothing, and she'd be a moron to waste the time she had bought.
Mistral made her charge for the door, and with a crackle of static, her aspect dispelled itself, exhausted. "********," she muttered, trying her best to weave past the drowsy lieutenants and force her way through the door.

The subway was packed today it seemed. "I really should be anywhere but here..." He raised his fist to the roof, thinking about all the drawings he could be doing for his homework today. But nooooooo! His mother needed diapers and a diaper bag, and some bottles, cause obviously the baby shes carrying is going to need all that stuff early.
Moms.
Dmitry fished in his pocket for his lighter, getting ready to step above for a quick smoke when things started happening. Yes...THINGS. Things that would mean he'd have to get his nicotine craving satisfied much later than he wanted. " Why?! WHY do these things happen whenever I want to enjoy myself?!" He growled and started pushing some civilians AWAY from the chaos that was happening, looking for a corner so he could go power up. To be honnest, he was looking forward to smashing some skulls in...
He felt sorry for the next chaos person he came in contact with, boy were they going to feel his wrath for denying him that sweet, sweet craving. Taking out the delicate silver and purple ring that was recently given to him, he grinned and kissed the purple jewel with the catrina skull in the middle, feeling a wave rush over him as he transformed, cracking his knuckles with delight.

There were several moments in which Jet was too distracted with trying to get the computers to do what he wanted for him to realize what was going on. Apparently there was a squire who had managed to sneak in, but not for long as she was attacked by one of the Negaverse cats. And then some kind of music seemed to make him feel sluggish. And even worse, Aquamarine and Seraphinite decided to come and check on him as if he needed a babysitter.
“Of course I haven’t!” he snapped back at Aquamarine, before turning to give the squire girl a wild look. Aurostibite was already losing it, kicking computers off tables and all that. And he was the one with the two babysitters??
Although, for once, he couldn’t help but agree with Aurostibite’s method. Granted, there should be a faster way. “If we can’t get the computers to work, we’ll just destroy them before any more of them can get in,” he said to Aquamarine, whom he knew didn’t like getting his hands dirty with fighting.
Exhausted from the song or not, Jet drew his blades back out from negaspace and turned to face the wayward squire. “I’ll handle silencing this one.” A wild look crossed his eyes as he held his knives at the ready, lunging forward to attack the girl in question.
“Shut the door!” he called to someone outside, hopefully Captain Umber or one of the others. If they have her locked in with them. Well. It would be even easier.

Aquamarine didn't like getting his hands dirty if he could help it. Trashing computers, on the other hand, was right up his alley. It meant assisting with the mission without necessitating the drawing of blood—whether his or someone else's, it didn't matter; both options were gross.
Unfortunately, Aquamarine fell victim to one of the Senshi's attacks soon after entering the transit office. He felt a bit tired and sluggish, aware that he was being affected by magic, but not caring enough to try and dispel it. There were worse things that could happen than feeling a little out of sorts. If anything, it made him feel quite unconcerned about Jet's request to close the door, even if he knew doing so would likely result in the drawing of blood.
After all, Jet seemed rather intent on using his knives.
“Don't get used to giving me orders,” Aquamarine said as he turned for the door in question. He eyed the squire as he made his way over, smirking just slightly at her predicament.
Very deliberately, he reached for the door handle, closed the door, and locked it.
“Now you won't be going anywhere,” he said.

Delphi had seen the cowboy looking page and nodded once to him and she was about to make her way toward him when she was distracted by a senshi on the ground not too far off. Biting her lip her decision was made quickly and she held up a hand toward the page of Pluto, not that she had realized he was a Pluto knight, and than turned and hurried off toward the senshi. Nearing the downed senshi she glanced about. Was she going to have to move him?
Bending down she hooked her arms under his arm pits and started to walk backward, dragging the other, as she made her way toward the cowboy page and whoever he was with, as he did seem to be busy with someone else. glancing up as she was dragging the downed senshi her eyes landed on the two other figures who had been with the whiteish haired senshi.
Somehow she was still managing to hold onto her scepter as she moved the other backward with her. "Come on." She said looking up to the two who seemed to have been with the senshi she was presently working on getting to safety, or at least a better place to be. "Follow me and help if you can." She really didn't want to do all the work here, even though it seemed like that's just what she'd be doing.

Something was tugging at general Xenotime's hand. Not just her hand, but her arms, and her shoulders. Something dragging her back, slowing her down, throwing off her momentum and her aim. She swore, loudly, as she tried for half a second to fight against it, but as her boot began to slip she knew muscle alone wasn't going to work here.
With a snarl she desummoned the wicked set of knuckledusters and the plated armor that raced up either arm, and when she felt that pulling weight lift, she grinned, a vicious flash of pearly teeth, as she dug her toe against the wet ground beneath her feet and surged into action again.
Not a bad plan from the princess, but it would really only slow the agent down by a tiny handful of seconds.
Maia eyes went a little wide when the magic barely hit the general, and she started to step back, but had barely managed before the General was right in her face and throwing a bunch in her face.
Her eyes went wide, clearly denoting surprise, she even 5 almost 6 years later wasn't use to teleporting. Polaris arrived to back her up calling out her magic, as Maia did the only thing she could think off to avoid it by dropping to the floor.
She felt the generals fist connect, with her cheek bone as she dropped, past her ear and through wayward curls and she just hoped the general didn't think to grab them. She hit the ground her back lighting up with pain, the force of the blow to the side of her head having knocked her sideways some. It was good though because it allowed her to roll quickly and scramble to her feet and past the general.
"Help Gany," she shouted to Polaris, "general whatever she is pulled Valhalla's starseed. I'm going to try to help stop the train."
She didn't wait to see if Polaris understood the rush of words, was face with the captain who appeared to have gotten hit with her magic. She didn't stop, pushing at him hard to push him out of the way and raising her foot to the closed door and kicking as hard as she could.
The rather unsturdy door flew open, lock useless, and Maia came in fist raised and threw a punch at the nega with drawn blades who looked ready to attack Mistral. "Don't even think it!"
THE DOOR IS OPEN! AND MAIA IS NOW IN THE OFFICE!

Aquamarine was a good person. Or at least good to him. Of all the people that he could depend on, Aquamarine was at the top. Even if he sucked at helping him with getting bandaged up after getting hurt, or when he whined about things, or complained about things, and lived in his mansion, and drove around in his Maserati… but he was at least dependable.
Of course, up against an eternal, there was only so much Aquamarine could do. And as the door burst open, Jet quickly pulled his attention away from the squire that he had his eyes set on, making sure Aquamarine wasn’t hurt by the busted door, before turning his sights on the eternal that came at him now.
He didn’t have time to say anything, but lifted his right arm to block her punch, the blade of his dagger facing outward and parallel to his forearm. Unless she managed to get around his blades, she was going to be the first for him to draw blood on with his new blades. In the same motion, he swiped with his left, hoping to catch her with the other sharp edge of his weapon.

As the winds started to die down, Typhon looked around to see what destruction he had caused. But his moment of reflection was swiftly interrupted with a strong kick to the back from Juno, toppling him over to his front. He reacted as quickly as he could, barreling forward to dodge any incoming second blow and spiraling around to be back in view, now finding she was accompanied with another enemy, Verona.
"Wow, two ladies want a piece of me right now," he smirked as he rose back to his feet. "Into it."
He charged forward, as if to tackle, but swiftly maneuvered to send one fist launching to Verona's face and the other as a stealth-jab towards Juno's gut.

As it happened however Athene didn't have to look for very long as the source of the Lieutent-aura chose that moment to come on by in his direction, its owner a brown-haired young man, who was jingling as he walked.
He couldn't help but blink in confusion for a moment at the other's 'b***h' comment as he wondered if the other male was confusing him for a girl, but it didn't stop him from stepping in front of the elderly man and fully into the Lieutenant's path forward.
"I'm sorry but I can't do that" he said quietly, his eyes slightly narrowed from beneath his glasses. "I think it best that you leave."
Because Athene really didn't like the clinking sound coming from the other's pocket - especially in light of the way that people had been dropping like flies earlier.
He wasn't expecting the wind that suddenly picked up from pretty much out of no where, the force enough to knock him off his feet as he went tumbling backwards into a pillar with enough force to knock the breath out of him in a painful wheeze and if that wasn't bad enough he was also soaked by the water that had acted as a precursor to the wind.
He was still trying to catch his breath when he heard a voice calling out his name in conjunction with Polaris' name as well as someone called Pompeii, the voice seemingly coming from the commotion that seemed to be happening from the other end of the platform.
Then it was followed by the feeling - a feeling that he was needed down the end of the platform... And whilst Athene couldn't explain how, he could feel where he needed to go - the direction he needed to take.
It was going to take a moment though, or maybe more than just a moment he mentally acknowledged as he tried to catch his breath in a pained wheeze.
At this point, Chara was simply waiting for the anger in him to overcome the pain so he could stand up and fight again! But it wasn't going away. It was there and quite literally in his face. It stripped him of his voice, unable to protest the person (Delphi) who was helping him up. It stripped him of any way he could fight again. He barely managed to stand when the woman came up and started dragging him backwards! He tried to help her instead of just being dead weight. Luckily he was still small and scrawny, so just being able to shuffle along backwards should have been enough to assist in his movements.
He finally managed to open his other eye and saw the other two order individuals coming to his aid. (Sadachiba and Cor Caroli) It seemed like even though he hadn't really meet any other senshi before this day in such large caliber, there were many more than he thought.
